“You
have it in you to become the greatest actress of the 20th
century ” – Sir Anthony
Hopkins.

The actress Jacqueline Pearce is
best known to television audiences as the villainous Servalan from
the fondly remembered Blake’sSeven
(BBC 1978-1981). But her career has taken her from RADA to
Hollywood, via starring roles in international comedy films, Hammer
Horror, BBC Shakespeare, and London’s West End. So how did she end
up living in the African bush with her belongings in black bin-bags?Find out with this gripping memoir of an extraordinary life –
from Byfleet to the Bush.

Jacqueline’s
motherless upbringing in suburban Byfleet was unconventional and her
education at the hands of nuns left her emotionally scarred. Through
the course of her erratic career, she found love, laughter,
heartache, breakdowns, fame, obscurity, and sex drugs and rock and
roll. On the way, she encountered such stars as Elizabeth Taylor and
Richard Burton, Sammy Davis Jr, Jerry Lewis, Alan Bates, John Hurt,
Dervla Kirwan and Rupert Penry-Jones. Candid, vivid, mordant and
funny, this is an unusual and enchanting
memoir.

'From Byfleet to the
Bush' will be
released in March 2012 and published in two versions: a
standard paperback (£12.99) and a special hardback edition (£24.99).

The Hardback Edition, with it's exclusive cover is only available direct from Fantom Films!
Limited to only 250 copies - individually numbered and signed
by Jacqueline Pearce herself.
